Your big trip is planned and now you’re trying to decide what to pack. Should you take your diamond jewelry or not?

If you’re like most people, you worry about the possibility of losing or having your diamond and other gemstone jewelry stolen while traveling. Nothing ruins a vacation or honeymoon more than losing a sentimental piece of jewelry or a new engagement or wedding ring... and it happens more often than people realize.

“Replacing lost or stolen diamond engagement rings is a weekly occurrence at Diamontrigue,” says owner Susan DeVore, who also lost a genuine diamond engagement ring years ago.

“The most heartbreaking situation is when a young couple has lost a new diamond ring during their honeymoon, and they still have three to five years of payments to make,” says DeVore.

“Losing a one or two carat diamond can mean a loss of $5,000 to $8,000 or more, and who can afford that kind of loss today?”

Everyone knows someone who has lost a piece of jewelry in their lifetime. Earrings, ladies?

So, how exactly do you lose a ring? Here are a few examples: While washing your hands or applying lotion, you might take it off and leave it on the sink in a public restroom. Or, after applying suntan lotion, you wade into the ocean or lake and it slides off your hand without notice; or maybe it is stolen from your hotel room.

“In our 30 years of business, we’ve heard all kinds of stories of how rings have been lost. The good news is, you can replace the jewelry affordably at Diamontrigue... and only a jeweler can tell the difference,” says DeVore.

The next time you plan a trip, make Diamontrigue part of the plan! The smart traveler knows that they can find beautiful diamond and colored gemstone simulant jewelry to complement their travel wardrobe at Diamontrigue.
